We used the perforated patch-clamp technique to examine cell membrane ionic conductances in isolated cells of the human colonic secretory cell line, T84, during exposure to the muscarinic agonist carbachol. Carbachol (100 microM) induced both outward and inward currents when the patch pipette contained a normal intracellular-like solution, the bath contained a normal extracellular-like solution, and the cells were intermittently voltage clamped between K+ and Cl- equilibrium potentials. The outward current was identified as a K+ current that averaged 483 +/- 95 pA, while the inward current averaged 152 +/- 29 pA (n = 15). The outward and inward currents oscillated with a synchronous frequency of 0.036 +/- 0.006 Hz; however, the onset of the K+ current occurred an average of 457 +/- 72 ms before the onset of the inward current. When the pipette contained a high-NaCl solution, the bath contained a Na(+)-gluconate solution, and the cells were intermittently voltage clamped between Cl- and Na+ equilibrium potentials, carbachol induced both Cl- and nonselective cation currents. The Cl- current averaged 455 +/- 73 pA, while the nonselective cation current, averaged 336 +/- 54 pA (n = 14). No difference was observed in the onset of these two currents. These results indicate that carbachol induces three separate ionic conductances in T84 cells. We used the whole cell patch-clamp technique in a previous study of these cells [D. C. Devor, S. M. Simasko, and M. E. Duffey. Am. J. Physiol. 258 (Cell Physiol. 27): C318-C326, 1990] and found that carbachol induced only an oscillating membrane K+ conductance. Thus some unidentified component of the carbachol-sensitive signal transduction pathway is diffusible and may be lost during whole cell patch clamping.
